Questions about VDC..

IDZRVIT

They wreck their cars because they don't know how to drive but they will never admit to that. It's easier to blame it on "VDC off" rather than take responsibility and admit it was their own stupidity or lack of driving skills. I leave mine off all the time unless it's raining cats ands dogs on the highway. The gain by leaving it off is that you control the car - not the computer.

Judge all you want, but wrecking a car isn't always for a lack of skill....it's a lack of control and the environment the crash occurs. You can't just apply a blanket statement like that. It's like saying race drivers don't know how do drive either because they crash all time.....and without the help of VDC.

It also has a lot to do with knowing how your car behaves. If VDC is never on, you know the threshold better than someone who turns it off once a year. It has nothing to do with driving skill and noone is "blaming VDC Off" as the cause, it's a contributing factor along with speed, road conditions, driver awareness and weather.

And think about it: If turning VDC off made the car inherently dangerous, Nissan wouldn't provide a switch that lets you turn it off.

VDC compensates for less-skilled drivers or, for skilled drivers, allows you to let your guard down a bit.
